Chapter 56

Seeing that the assassin had missed the blow and knowing that it would be difficult to get another chance, the two assassins split up and ran away in a few jumps on the roof.

Seeing that the two were extremely fast, Zuo Jun said to the man in black: "Chunqiu, you chase the left, I chase the right!" said a jumper, jumped from the horse to the opposite roof, and chased in the direction of the assassin's escape.

The man in black was a personal entourage of the Zuo Army, named Mu Chunqiu, and when he heard the Zuo Jun's order, he chased after the other person without hesitation. The other people were far from being able to do so, and although they knew that it was useless to chase them, they still split up and followed in two directions.

The left army chased after him vigorously, and it was difficult to shorten the distance when he was about five or six feet away from the assassin, but seeing that the assassin ran with great ease, he was amazed in his heart: there is such a powerful figure in the world, and you must not be careless.

The left army was a little faster, and the distance between him and the man was shortened by two feet. The assassin suddenly raised his hand backwards, and the left army thought that a hidden weapon was flying, and hurriedly jumped to the left to dodge, but the other party only bluffed. But the left army was deflated by this evasion, and in a blink of an eye, the man was far away, and he saw that he could not catch up, so the left army had to give up.

The left army returned along the way, and soon saw the people chasing after them on horseback, and everyone asked the left army how the situation was, and the left army said: "Go back first, and wait for the spring and autumn to come back and then make plans." ”

Everyone followed the left army back to Shiliangmen, and waited for more than half an hour before Mu Chunqiu returned. Zuo Jun asked, "Did you catch up?"

Mu Chunqiu said: "Let him run away, but his subordinates have handed him over, so take the white wolf to find someone!" This white wolf is a group of hunting dogs raised by Shiliangmen, and its sense of smell is more sensitive than that of ordinary hunting dogs. Mu Chunqiu was originally under the Xumen, but when the left army saw that he was astute, he was promoted to his side. There is a unique trace powder in Xumen, once sprinkled on the body, ordinary people can't smell it, but the white wolf can smell it, and you can find it if you run out for dozens of miles. This powder is also commonly used for tracking and searching for people. When Mu Chunqiu fought with the assassin, he took the opportunity to sprinkle tracking powder on that man.

The left army ordered Mu Chunqiu to bring a few good hands, led the white wolf to chase first, and led fifty people to follow behind, just waiting for Mu Chunqiu to find someone to send a signal, and then led people to surround him.

Mu Chunqiu took the white wolf to the place where he fought the assassins, and the white wolf sniffed around on the ground, and ran north without a sound, and Mu Chunqiu led the people to follow closely.

The white wolf led everyone all the way into the northern city, where most of the petty officials in Beijing lived, and there were also many family members of officials from other provinces who lived here. The white wolf slowed down slowly, sniffed it several times in front of a mansion, and finally determined that it was here. The white wolf didn't make any sound, but jumped lightly a few times, Mu Chunqiu stepped forward and stroked the white wolf's head, and the white wolf stepped aside,

This is also the rule of Shiliangmen, once after chasing a prisoner, because the white wolf barked a few times, and scared the prisoner away. Since then, all the training of white wolves requires that they be silent when tracking, and they only need to jump to the target to sign.

Mu Chunqiu ordered a few people to scatter, quietly stared at the house, and released a red cigarette to report the location of the left army. After a short time, the left army led everyone to come, and all the soldiers surrounded the house, and the left army said coldly: "Find out the people inside to the old man!"

Mu Chunqiu stepped forward, lifted his breath slightly, kicked it, and the two solid wood doors flew out in response, and all the soldiers shouted hello, and Mu Chunqiu's kung fu on his legs was also one of the best in Shiliangmen.

As soon as the door was kicked open, the soldiers entered in two teams and quickly took control of all parts of the courtyard. The people in the courtyard suddenly suffered this change, and they didn't know what was happening, and they made a mess of noise, which made the chickens and dogs jump. A man in his thirties ran out while getting dressed, and said to everyone: "Officials, officials, there is something to say, something to say!"

Mu Chunqiu stepped forward and asked, "Tell the steward to come out!"

The man said: "The villain is, if the official has something to say, do not use force." ”

Mu Chunqiu stretched out his left hand and pinched the back of the man's neck, lifting the man up like catching a chicken, bluffing the man into begging for mercy, wanting to reach out and struggle, but he didn't have half the strength in his hands and feet.

Mu Chunqiu walked in front of the left army and threw the man to the ground, and the man rolled on the ground and rolled to the feet of the left army. He knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, and he dared to stand up, threw himself on the ground and kowtowed several times, begging for mercy loudly.

Zuo Jun was cold: "Who are you?"

The man on the ground: "The villain Liu Siwei is a steward of the inner government supervisor. ”

"The steward of the inner government supervisor?" Zuo Jun snorted coldly: "Do you recognize the old man?"

"Little ...... The villain doesn't recognize it", Liu Siwei fell on the ground and trembled.

Zuo Jun kicked Liu Siwei over and shouted: "You haven't seen what the old man looks like, so you don't recognize it?"

Liu Siwei rolled up from the ground, kowtowed a few more times like pounding garlic, and exclaimed: "My lord's life!

Zuo Jun didn't expect to be such a timid person, and shouted: "Raise your head and see if you recognize the old man!"

Liu Siwei cautiously raised his head and glanced at Zuo Jun, and immediately lowered his head in fright, trembling like chaff, and said, "Xiao ...... Villain, no...... I don't recognize adults. ”

Zuo Jun snorted coldly: "I don't know the old man, why do you want to assassinate the old man?"

Liu Siwei trembled and said: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!"

Mu Chunqiu pulled out his sword with a "whoosh", put it on Liu Siwei's neck, and said coldly: "If you want to die, just tell a lie!"

Liu Siwei said in a trembling voice: "The villain doesn't dare to lie, the villain really doesn't recognize the adult!" He paused, suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively: "Big ...... My lord, is it ...... You...... You are left...... Left ......"

Zuo Jun said coldly: "Zuo Jun!"

As soon as he heard the word "Zuo Army", Liu Siwei was like a ghost, and he threw himself on the ground and kowtowed a series of times, and shouted: "Lord Zuo, this is not about the villain!"

Zuo Jun said: "Tell me clearly, what's none of your business?"

Liu Siwei bowed his head and said: "The assassination of the adults was done by the uncle, and it has nothing to do with the villain! The villain has ten guts, and he does not dare to assassinate you!"

Zuo Jun signaled to Mu Chunqiu, Mu Chunqiu stepped forward and picked up Liu Siwei, Zuo Jun said, "Who is your uncle?"

Liu Siwei said: "Duke Qi Guo...... Liu Yuan. ”

Zuo Jun frowned, and said in his heart: Okay, you Liu Yuan, when the old man was in Huaicheng, you made things difficult everywhere, and when you returned to the capital, you dared to assassinate the old man.

With a wave of his hand, Mu Chunqiu threw Liu Siwei on the ground again, and said to the soldiers on both sides: "Escort back!" The soldiers stepped forward, tied Liu Siwei up, and escorted him down.

Zuo Jun said to Mu Chunqiu: "Do a good search, everyone and evidence will be brought back to Shiliangmen." ”

"Yes!"
